PITTsBURe, Aug. 1.-The last of the
Pinkerton guards, fifty IN number, were
withdrawn from the coke regions to-day
and passed through this city this after
1oon to their homes in Chicago. The
COX e-workers made no demonstration on
their leaving.
President Himmell, of the Miners Asso-
citation, at West Leisenriug, was arrested
yesterday and held in $1,000 bail on a
charge of conspiracy and interfering with
the men at work. He was one of the
principal leaders in the strike, and his
arrest caused some excitement.
This evening the coke workers com
menced voting to decide which of the two
rival organizations, the Knights of Labor
or Miners Analgamated Association, is to
be absorbed by the other. The feeling be.
tween the members of the two associations
IS so bitter that the Amalgamated officials
have refused to meet with the Knights OF
Labor in a conference with the operators
looking to a final adoption of sliding
scale of prices.

West-Beck Tragedy.

LAPoRTE, July 30.-The widest excite
ment prevails at Chesterton. The body of
Susie Beck arrived there to-day. Phe pa
rents of the girl are almost frantic with
grief. Parties are securing the woods in
search of West, who is supposed to be in
hiding. II he is caught he will be lynched,
so strong is the feeling against him. A
post mortem examination of the stomach
and liver Of Miss Beck is now in progress in
st. Louis, but thus far no symptoms of poi
son have been found and the supposition of
poisoning rests entirely on the ground that
a package of arsenic. part of which had
been used, has been discovered. The doc
tors death certificate gave cholera morbus
as the cause of death. Examination shows
that recent miscarriage had taken place,
but whether criminal abortion had been
practiced has not been determined. West
came to Chesterton little less than year
ago TO preach for the Methodist Church
there. Susie Beck went into his family as
a domestic in February, and an intimacy
was soon discovered between them. Alb
bott and Miss Beck left on June "a, and
went to Chicago, from which place letters
were written by both of them disclaiming
any criminal intimacy. West returned to
Cbesterton July 20 without Miss Beck, and
was forgiven by his wife, but on being con.
fronted with the story OF his career in st.
Louis, decamped Thursday night.

LOUISVILLE. KY, August 1.-The elec.

Kentucky, passed Off quietly to day. The
weather was clear and hoT, and the vote
does not seem to have been large. Owing
TO the length of the tickets and local
contests, the returns are as yet
meagre. The labor and prohibition vote
are smaller than was anticipated. In Louis
vile the Democratic msjority Is about
3,Go0 Democratic gain of nearly 1000

Democratic legislature ticket, and defeats
local option by a heavy majority. The
county and city gives the Demo-
Gratis a majority of 1900. Meagre
returns from the State indicate Repub-

LONDON, July 29.-Mr. Gladstone ad-
dressed the London Liberal Radical Union
this evening. He said that at the last
election the Unionists had a msjority of

if the Liberals reclaimed 150, 900 votes their

Trained from opposing them at the last
election, mistook the position. They be-
ieved Irish autonomy to be of
questionable policy, or even mis-
chevious; but anyhow they expected
that the Unionists would cooperate with
the remainder of the party in regard to
Liberal principles, especially against coer-
cion. The result, however, was that the
Unionists believed as lifelong foes. He
continued Far from dismember-

the Liberals are indisposed to try the effect

Mr.. Gladstone condemned the "plan of

were not as much to blame as those who
drove them to adopt it.
Mr.. Gladstone's remarks were largely de-
voted 10 the influence of the pending
elections in the direction of undermining
the position of the dissidents and of persu-
aiding liberals, who abstain from voting in

his audience that reunion of the Liberal
party must be looked upon as far distant,
although he acknowledged the sincerity of
Lord Hartington's desire to reunite the
party if possible.

a SERIOUS M1suNpERsrANpING.
Fresh Troubles Between the Iron Work
ers and Manufacturers.

tresn IrOnDie5 BetWeen the Iron WORK
ers and Manufacturers.
Pittsburg to-day inaugurated what from
present indications will be the most seri.
Gus misunderstanding that has arisen for
years between the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Iron and Steel Workers and the
manufacturers. Already a number of
mills in the Mahoning Valley have been
closed down, and nearly 5000 iron workers
are out of employment, while the indica-
tions are that before many days there will
be a still larger number of idle mills. The
trouble is caused by an attempt on the
part of the Amalgamated Association to
enforce an old law in their constitution,
which provides that no man shall hold two
jobs at a mill. At the recent annual
convention of iron workers an
amendment atigmatizing the holder
of two Jobs as "blsck sheep" was passed,
and it was decided to enforce the law after
August /. The members of the association
were notified of the action taken as a rule

srose over nop-members who refused. At

fused to discharge these men and the mill

Canadian stopping Place.
SARNIA, Ont, August 1.-McGarigle has
disappeared. At midnight last night the
chief of police visited the place where he
was supposed to be staying. for the pur-
pose of arrestlng him, but found that he
had fed. To-day rumors are plentiful as
to his whereabouts, but the most accepta-
BILE theory sfioat is that he is under the
care of some friendly farmer
in one of the adjoining
townships, where he can easily communi-
cate with friends and avoid detectives and
reporters. The warrant upon which the
chief of police was acting last night did
not state the nature of the charge, and the
chief of police to day submitted it to
county crown attorney Buck, who advised
him to proceed no further in the case as the
warrant was defective. McGarigle has re-
tained Mr.. Lister, M. P. as legal adviser.

SECRETARY mAYNARD's DECISION
Relative to the Classification of Leaf To.

bacco.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Asst-Secretary
Maynard to-day gave a decision in regard
to the classification of leaf tobacco which
will be of interest to the tobacco trade. The
question arose on a decision of the collec-
tor OF FL Paso, Tex, assessing duty at the
rate OF 20 cents per pound on certain leaf
tobacco imported from Mexico, of which
SO out of every 100 leaves were of the re-
qeisite size and fneness for use as wrap
pers, and 100 of which leaves weighed less
than pound. The determination of the
points involved depends principally upon
the unit to be adopted in ascertaining
whether 65 per cent. of the tobacco
is of the weight and quality which renders
1t liable to the rate of dnty imposed. In
his decision, Judge MAYNARD says: THE
subject OF the tax is 'leaf tobacco not
bales or hands, or packages of leaf to-
bscco, and the liability to duty can not be
made to deptnd upon the form of the
package in which the importation Is made.
Every leaf, eighty five percent. of which is
suitable for wrappers, and the weight of
which is such that more than one hundred
leaves would be required to weigh a pound,
is declared to be lsble TO the higher rate
of duty. This view is further strengthened
by the provision in the paragraph that
in determining the weight the individual
leaves alone are to be regarded The
packages or bales, but by leaves. 1t is
contended that in determining the per-
centsge suitable for wrappers the Govern
ment can not include any more than that
part Of each leaf which is actually and
finally used in the manufacture of cigar,
and hence il is further contended that If
in working up the leaf 65 per cent. of 1t
does not thus enter into the manufacture
of the cigar as finished product, then the
tobacco Is dutiable at the low rate, and, as
in no csse s. per cent. Of any leaf isever
thus used, il would follow that the higher
rate of duty could never be imposed. 1
do not think that such a construction can
be sustained. The law has reference to
leaf tobacco in the condition when i'm
ported and not to the final results which
may be obtained from its manu- 'acture into
cigars. It is dealing with q kind we'll
known to the trade as suitable for wrap
pers that is, fit to be set apart for use for
such purposes, and IL So per cent. of the
leaf properly comes within that desig aa-
tion and is of the requisite weight, the con-
ditions of the law are met and the high rase
of duty should be imposed. 1t has been
suggested that it would be difficult IL not
impracticable for the appraiser to adopt
the leaf as o unit, but il is not be ieved
that such an objection rests upon tilabls
ground"
